Have courage for the great sorrows of life
And patience for the small ones:
And when you have laboriously
Accomplished your daily tasks,
Go to sleep in peace.
God is awake.
-Victor Hugo
Welcome to the Enclosed Garden of Susan Ernst. Literal as well as figurative, this blog explores the physical gardens which I cultivate, the spiritual garden within, and the intellectual garden of horticultural knowledge gathered through decades of study, observation and practice. Come and sit with me for a while. Let us together marvel at the delicate, intricate beauty of a flower.
